A former Minister of Science and Technology under the administration of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Ogbonnaya Onu, has reportedly died.

VOP News gathered that Onu who is the first civilian Governor of Abia State, passed on this morning in an Abuja hospital after a brief illness.

The first-class engineering graduate was elected governor of the old Abia State in 1992 whose tenure was cut short by the military in 1994.

He became national chairman of the defunct All Nigerian People’s Party (ANPP) which later collapsed into APC, a party birthed in 2013 by merger of the then major opposition political parties
